Summer adoption promotion

Action Programs for Animals and their Doña Ana Pets Alive! campaign was out mid-June at Sam's Club and PETCO with their adoptable dogs and cats.

At Sam's on June 15, they ran into Gov. Susana Martinez, who graciously posed for a picture with Lauren, left, and Carly Hamilton, right, the daughters of APA Board Directors Chris and Valina Hamilton.

During the week of June 10-16, the organization found new homes for 13 dogs, three cats, and seven kittens. The group regularly offers pets for adoption each Sunday at PETCO from 10 a.m.- 3 p.m. as well as cats/kittens for adoption at Better Life Pet Foods, Calista's Animal Hospital, and Enchanted Gardens. Their free adoption promo is running all summer long.
